Recent suicide in my hometown

[SleepyRobloxGrl]

A man in my parents' hometown recently CTB in a really interesting way.

He apparently tied some straps from his work truck around a pole in a parking lot, attached the other end around his neck and then pushed the gas pedal, effectively beheading himself. His head rolled onto a patch of grass while his truck and body kept driving into a ditch at the edge of the parking lot.

He did this in broad daylight. With people in the parking lot around him.

It got me thinking how cruel it is to subject other people to your method :( I know that the pain and suffering we feel is bad and sometimes CTB feels urgent, but it inflicts trauma onto anyone who might see it. They don't deserve that :(

Idk I'm rambling but I thought it was morbidly interesting as far as methods go

Yes, it was not appropriate to do it at that time.
If you need to go, do it so you do not involve others. Yes, someone will find you, but should not see or be immediately and directly impacted by your act.

Damn, that's metal.

That is crazy. Wow. Especially with people nearby during the day

The desolation and anguish that man must have been going through to end his life so brutally is unimaginable.

I could never blame anyone, even if someone blew their brains out in front of me. Surely his life was already an irreversible hell. In such a state it is impossible to think about others or anything else.

May he rest in peace.

Oh wow...I feel for him
What caused him to feel that way? We'll never know :(
I can just picture how the scene went down

Him tying the straps on the pole then walking back to his truck (he opened the window before hand.) He sits in the drivers seat and the strap is through the window he then ties it on his neck...takes a deep breath and them floors it.
His head flies out of the window along with the rope and his body (foot) is jammed on the pedal.

I feel bad for him

All these high IQ big brain methods don't make sense to me. It isn't worth the risk to me. It needs to be simple, straightforward and have a high success rate.

That's gotta be some serious anguish to cause someone to even think of something like that as an option, IMHO. Though I have to admit it is right up there with shooting yourself at a public range, I suppose. I read somewhere than men tend to choose more violent methods of self-terminating -- something about wanting to make sure they get the job done right the first time. Women tend to choose less violent methods -- apparently we are concerned with traumatizing others. I wish I could remember where I read it -- I'd give the link. But that was years ago and I've slept since then.

That's quite extreme. I guess this is an example that mental illness can really affect the way people execute decisions.
Not to take away from the suffering they experienced.

I remember reading about that method on alt.holiday a long time ago. Some of their methods were in partial jest and I didn't know if this was one someone would actually go through with. I imagine he may have been alive a few seconds after. He was clearly determined but damn that's gruesome.

That poor man, the pain and suffering he must have been in to go in such a horrific way with witnesses.

Doing this with people nearby(and probably watching) is wild
